On the first day, we hike 12 km through the forests and subalpine meadows, gain a height of around 1000m and stay in the first shelter for a night.
Important: to have an ID or a passport is a must, as the trail is near the Russian border.
The next day distance – 16 km. Hiking through the alpine valley with breathtaking views towards the lake. There’s a chance to see animals like deer, chamois, and wild goat; as well as various eagles, grouse, and other birds. The second shelter at 2800m altitude.
Trekking distance on the last day of the expedition – 15km, descending into the narrow gorges. Quite rocky and steep pathway, that follows rug terrain through bushes and long grasses. End up the trail transfer back to the guesthouse. Delicious Georgian dinner and well-deserved night rest.

After, free time to walk around a small mountain town Sighnaghi (also called as City of love), buy souvenirs or have a sip of wine in local restaurants. In the evening, grill party at the guesthouse yard.

While some of the days are beginner-friendly, 3-day Black Rocks Lake trekking requires a good level of fitness, as you should be prepared to walk 8 hours per day with big altitude changes. If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us. We’ll provide detailed information about trail difficulty and, if this itinerary isn’t a good fit, we’ll recommend the best options based on your experience and preference.
In the guesthouse, yes, and on parts of the trails, you’ll have coverage. However, during the 3-day Black Rocks Lake trek, there’s almost no signal. Be sure to prepare in advance and embrace this opportunity to connect with nature and your fellow hikers.
We recommend packing light while ensuring you bring essential items such as sturdy hiking shoes, a waterproof jacket, sunscreen, and a daypack to carry everything. Also sleeping bag and mat for 3-day trek, but this and heavy stuff will be carried by horse. After booking your tour, you’ll receive a detailed packing list along with other important trip preparation details to help you get ready.
My trip to Georgia was a spur of the moment decision and also limited to one week. I knew I really wanted to hike and I also knew I didn’t have the time to plan, organise, and execute my ideal itinerary in the short time I had to prepare. Every company I enquired with offered suitable tours however on days that didn’t suit me, this is when I discovered Camp Caucasus. Camp Caucasus drafted a couple of itineraries that covered what I was interested in and I was able to fine tune them to suit me. I ended up on my own individualised 4 day Kazbegi Adventure tour. I absolutely LOVED my time in Kazbegi.
Camp Caucasus arranged an awesome self-guided hiking tour of the Kazbegi area for us. The info package with descriptions and routes was super helpful and clear. Support before and during the trip was simply outstanding. Very kind and genuinely interested people at Camp Caucasus. We would definitely recommend and book again.
My husband and I took two self-guided hiking tours with Camp Caucasus, one to the Svenati region and one to Kazbegi. I highly recommend Camp Caucasus, both for the value, and the reliability.
